Scrum and Agile fundamentals with Alistair Cockburn - the circle is closed now


In December I was supposed to attend an Scrum Master class with Ron Jeffrey. I had been told by my colleges the added value of going for one of the ones who was there from the beginning. Sadly Ron had to cancel because of his knee and I was really disappointed.

About the course 6-8 April 2011 - I survived

A class like that one is expensive for my organization and what I was going to get wasn´t what I had expected despite a great replacing teacher. It would take years before next chance for me to meet any one from "the inner circle". Besides I got crowded by work so I cancelled that class.

I was bored that day
I was bored that day and got a sudden idea - why not try that guy who's website had been bubbling up at different Google searches last two years? Different subjects all the times. The man I speak about is Alistair Cockburn (read his website and you understand what I mean). I had seen a few videos at Youtube and presumed he would be exactly hat kind of teacher I want to go for. I had also searched for information about any Scandinavia travel plans a few times.

A day at The Opera or some words about decremental "system" development


A day at the Opera - what an amazing theme I thought sitting at the train that morning. I was going for a kick off regarding the new cooperate Intranet - the top layer, the "hub" connecting all other 50 Intranets. The conference room was called Carmen and full of excitement I entered the foyer. But it was empty - except for the three beautiful "ghosts" above.
